Pharmacists are the "scientists on the high street" – they can provide medical information and services to all of the community who come to visit them. Pharmacy is a unique degree that trains you to not only to design and make safe drugs and medicines, but also to ensure that a patient receives the right dose and medication for their illness. This degree gives QP status, which means a graduate can work as a qualified person in the pharmaceutical industry. Once qualified, pharmacy graduates can work anywhere in the EU.
